Tuesday, October 21, 2014

Today we created our organizational graphic to analyze the changes from the book to the movie (The Hunger Games).  We corrected Simple Solutions #17 (in Princeton & Y ale).  We discussed our SCOPE article in Harvard.
We took notes & discussed the literary technique/device of Symbolism and discussed the various symbols in The Hunger Games.
We continued to watch Part II of The Hunger Games and continued comparing it to the book.

HOMEWORK:
   Read your SciFi novel -- begin summaries of each section you are reading each evening.  They should only be about 3-5 sentences and give the section a title.
  Princeton: SS #18
  Yale:  SCOPE magazine article -- read and summarize in 5-10 sentences.  Be sure to cite the article/author in your summary.
   Harvard: SS #17,  write your conclusion for your essay on Clothes.
